PICMG, a not-for-profit 501(c) consortium of companies and organizations that collaboratively develop open specifications, has announced a new 8-page overview brochure that provides a quick overview of the organization's goals, achievements, specifications, and more. PICMG open standards are used in a wide range of high performance industrial, military/aerospace, telecommunications, test/measurement, medical, and general purpose embedded computing applications.

Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, now offers protective solder-side covers for 3U and 6U Eurocard PCBs. The covers come in version that mount to OpenVPX, CompactPCI, and VME/64x boards.

TEWS TECHNOLOGIES increases its I/O offering with the TXMC638, a standard single-width Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) compatible module providing a user configurable Kintex-7 FPGA with 24 ADC input channels. Designed for industrial, COTS, and transportation applications, where specialized I/O or long-term availability is required, the TXMC638 provides a number of advantages including a customizable interface for unique applications and a FPGA-based design for long-term product lifecycle management.

*Multi-channel real-time recording of RF Signals up to 3 GHz *Captures and reproduces IF bandwidths up to 560 MHz *Up to 61 TB of hot swappable SSD storage capacity *Real-time sustained recording rates up to 6.4 GB/sec *Designed to operate under conditions of shock and vibration

The new multicore SBC A25 from MEN offers up to 16 independent CPU cores, a variety of I/O options and an FPGA-based VMEbus interface. The board is already used by the Swiss research institute CERN in the world's largest particle accelerator due to its extreme computing power.

Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, now offers an ejector/injector handle for very high insertion force systems. The long ergonomic handle is ideal for 6U OpenVPX applications.
